2011-11-01 | 12:10 PM - 01:00 PM This talk introduces the Java EE 7 platform, the latest revision of the Java platform for the enterprise. The focus of Java EE 7 is on the cloud, and specifically it aims to bring Platform-as-a-Service providers and application developers together so that portable applications can be deployed on any cloud infrastructure and reap all its benefits in terms of scalability, elasticity, multitenancy, etc. Furthermore, Java EE 7 continues the ease of development push that characterized prior releases by bringing further simplification to enterprise development. It also adds new, important APIs such as the REST client API in JAX-RS 2.0 and the long awaited Concurrency Utilities for Java EE API, and plenty of improvements to all other components.

6. Java EE 7 Focus: Platform as a Service
• Provide way for customers and users to leverage public,
private, and hybrid clouds
• PaaS support entails evolutionary change
• Next logical step for Java EE
– J2EE à Java EE 6 : The Java EE Platform provides services
– Java EE 7 : The Java EE Platform IS a service

7. Java EE 7 PaaS Roadmap
• Define new platform roles to accommodate PaaS model
• Add metadata
– For service provisioning and configuration
– For QoS, elasticity
– For sharing of applications and resources
– For (re)configurability and customization
• Add useful APIs for cloud environment
– JAX-RS client API, Caching API, State Management, JSON,…
• Extend existing APIs with support for multi-tenancy

33. Multi-tenancy in Java EE 7
• Support for separate isolated instances of the same app for
different tenants
– One application instance per tenant
– Tenants correspond to units of isolation
– Multitenant apps are declared as such
– Each instance customized and deployed for a single tenant
– Limited form of SaaS
• Mapping to tenant done by the container
• Tenant id available to application
– E.g., under java:comp/tenantId or by injection

34. Java EE 7 Focus Area: Application Level Multi
Tenancy
• Goal: Simple configuration
• Flexible tenant discriminator support
• Other areas impacted - JNDI, JMS, EJB …

40. Java EE 7 Is Not Just Cloud-y
• Alignment of ManagedBeans across CDI, EJB, JSF,…
– POJO à ManagedBean à Enterprise JavaBean
– Extension of container-managed transactions beyond EJB
• Further simplifications for ease-of-development
– JMS 2.0 focus on ease-of-development
– Expanded use of dependency injection
– Expanded service metadata; improved configuration
• Pruning
– EJB CMP and BMP, JAX-RPC, Deployment API
• Update to Web Profile
